Dunston

"Dunston, a hamlet, township, and chapelry (to Penkridge), two miles N of Penkridge, contains 250 inhabitants, and about 1000 acres of land. Mr William Critchley owns 250 acres, and nearly all the rest belongs to the Earl of Lichfield, the lord of the manor."
[From History, Gazetteer and Directory of Staffordshire, William White, Sheffield, 1851]

"The Church of St Leonard, is a small modern brick edifice, except the tower, which is of stone, and appears very ancient.
The living is a perpetual curacy, in the patronage of Lord Hatherton, and incumbency of the Rev. Evan Price, who is also incumbent of Coppenhall."
